hi, On this matter, does anyone know if there's some way to clean this up?, lots of controls i'm never gonna touch (don't have the live drive either). Every time i have to start recording something had time swim in the gamix,alsamixer mess. In Alsamixer you selects capture with space bar on the input (line ) control you choose. This is, IMO, shorter. I guess, to make setup for a rec session shorter, one has to do some scripting whith amixer commands.
